Unified Secure Gateway for Multi-Entity Account Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing authenticated secure communication systems require multiple secure channels for exchanging account information across multiple entities, leading to resource consumption and increased risk of information integrity and security issues, making it cumbersome for users to manage and update sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a secure gateway device and platform to enable authenticated secure communications across a user device and multiple server devices, allowing a single communication to trigger multiple actions across entities through a graphical user interface (GUI), reducing the need for separate channels and enhancing user management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple secure channels are used for exchanging account information across multiple entities, then security and information integrity are improved, but resource consumption increases and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple secure communication channels into a single unified secure channel that can handle communications with multiple entities simultaneously. The system establishes one secure connection between the client device and the server, which then manages authenticated communications with multiple entities through this single channel, eliminating the need for separate secure channels for each entity.
Solution Approach 2:
The secure communication channel is designed to be universal and multi-functional, capable of handling authenticated communications with multiple different entities through a single interface. The system provides a unified secure channel that can dynamically route communications to appropriate entities based on authentication credentials, making the channel adaptable to multiple purposes and entities.
2Reliability
If multiple secure channels are used for exchanging account information, then security is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple secure communication channels into a single unified secure channel, reducing the computational resources required for establishing and maintaining multiple separate secure connections. By consolidating the secure communication infrastructure, the system reduces energy consumption while maintaining security through centralized authentication and encrypted communication.
3Ease of operation
If a unified platform is used for authenticated secure communications, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages the complexity of unified secure communications behind the scenes. The server handles authentication, credential verification, and routing of communications to multiple entities, shielding the user from this complexity. The user interface remains simple while the intermediary manages the underlying system complexity.

AI summary
In some implementations, a device may provide, to a user device associated with a user, a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the platform. The GUI may include one or more fields associated with inputting account information associated with multiple accounts associated with the user and multiple entities. The device may receive, via the GUI, the account information associated with the multiple account types. The device may authenticate the account information with the platform. The device may receive, via the GUI, an account communication indicating a request to provide an action indication to one or more server devices associated with respective entities of the multiple entities. The device may provide, based on the account communication, the action indication to the one or more server devices associated with the respective multiple entities.
